Chapter 616 What We Want Is World Peace

The demise of the Su family was unexpected by everyone and caught off guard, which frightened the civil and military officials of the entire court.

The relationship between the Shangning Yun clan and Su Ce is not unknown to the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, but they don’t know much about it. Most people only know that Su Ce’s wife’s uncle is the son-in-law of the Yun clan, and the Su Yun family is barely related by marriage. .

Su Ce holds the power of the household department, and the Yun family is a merchant family with a century-old history. Since they are related by marriage, the Yun family will naturally get some conveniences if there are people in the court who are easy to do things. Even ordinary people understand this.

But it is obvious that the relationship between the Su family and the Yun family - or should be said, the relationship between Su Ce and the Yun family is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Su Ce's attitude of pleading guilty was too calm, even more sad than heartbroken. A kind of despair rushed over his face, which was the result of knowing in his heart that there was no room for change.

So in other words, he was indeed not wronged in this matter.

The Yun family set up a private horse farm, raised soldiers and horses privately, embezzled huge sums of money, deceived the emperor and conspired against the emperor... These crimes are all real and are the result of the joint cooperation between the Yun family and Su Ce.

Therefore, according to the law, neither the Yun family nor the Su family can escape the fate of being executed by the nine clans.

The sudden destruction of powerful ministers and merchant families inevitably shocked the ministers.

But the real reason for their uneasiness is not the fate of the Yun family and the Su family, but the fact that Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent, without any warning, obtained a large amount of criminal evidence in the calm and calm situation, and had all the movements of the courtiers at their fingertips. , the investigation of the case is silent, and the punishment is like thunder, without giving people any chance to fight back - this is the most terrifying thing.

There was no psychological preparation at all, and he didn't even smell any clues.

He was put to death so suddenly.

Su Ce was quickly taken away. Her Majesty the Queen announced that she would go to court and stood up to leave after being respectfully seen off by the ministers.

It took a while for the ministers to stand up with weak legs after the emperor left. Their feet walking out of the hall seemed to be filled with lead, and every step they took was extremely heavy.

No one could laugh, not even the ministers in the court who had a competitive and hostile relationship with Su Ce. They really couldn't be happy at this time.

"Master Chief Assistant." Prime Minister Lu quickly caught up with Xie Chief Assistant and walked side by side with him. His tone was still somewhat calm, "Our Majesty the Queen is usually quiet and looks very gentle. Today, this time It really makes people sweat."

"What?" Xie Shoufu turned his head and glanced at him, "Did you scare the Prime Minister?"

"If you're not scared, then you must be lying. The clothes underneath are all wet." Prime Minister Lu smiled bitterly, "But I think I'm doing a good job. Didn't you see the expressions on the other ministers' faces? What about each one of them?" She was pale, like a mother who had just given birth, without any blood, and she seemed to be frightened. "

indeed.

The ministers, who were walking a little unsteadily, followed one after another, their faces as white as paper.

"Historically, when a court official was punished, someone must first impeach him, or the censor, or other civil servants. Of course, sometimes it would also come from competitors." Xie Shoufu walked towards the palace gate unhurriedly, "Someone In impeachment, if the evidence is solid, you can be convicted. If the evidence is insufficient, there is still time to deal with it. But like our majesty and the regent's popular investigation method, it is probably the first time for everyone in the court to see it in their lives, so it is okay to be frightened. It’s inevitable.”

What frightened them was not Su Ce, but themselves.

The fact that the Su family and the Yun family can be investigated quietly can only prove that the queen and the regent have their own informants and sources of information. I don't know how many people inside and outside the palace are keeping an eye on the ministers. How powerful is the power behind them? What are the movements, what things have you done that you shouldn't do, and even the number of times you go to the toilet at night may be truthfully known. How can it not be frightening?

"Actually, there is no need to be too nervous." Xie Shoufu smiled lightly, his voice neither high nor low, just enough for the ministers following him to hear, "Even if the regent really has so many spies outside, patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, he will not It may be possible to investigate everything down to the smallest detail, but if it is to be investigated, it will definitely be to investigate some rebellious ministers with disloyal intentions, corrupt officials who plunder the people's wealth, or faint officials who let the people fall into trouble and do nothing, as well as some local officials who are powerful and the government is incompetent. Land bullies and the like.”

Having said this, he turned to look at the officials who had followed him unconsciously, and said calmly: "In general, it can be summed up in one sentence, what our Majesty and the Regent want is He Qing Haiyan, the world Peace.”

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lu nodded slowly: "Master Chief Assistant is right."

"But who is an official in the court and has nothing to say?" An official behind him whispered, "Even if you invite a few colleagues to a brothel for a few drinks, it is not a big deal in private, but it falls to His Majesty and the Regent. In the eyes of the king, it is inevitable that he will be regarded as having a bad style.”

Xie Shoufu said calmly: "No matter how many eye-catchers there are, the Regent and Her Majesty the Queen are only two people with two pairs of eyes. How can they have so much energy to focus on such trivial matters like yours?"

"The words of the Chief Assistant have actually made it very clear. Whether as an official or as a person, no one can be as good as the ancient sage and can't find any shortcomings." Prime Minister Lu turned around, as if to relieve the pressure on the ministers. "You may wish to think about it. Since Her Majesty came to the throne, she has actually solved two major cases in the Wei Palace and the Su Family. Their crimes are obvious to all. You can refer to them."

The ministers thought for a while and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Thinking of this, I felt a little relaxed and my face looked much better than before.

"As the Chief Assistant said, what your Majesty and the Regent want is peace in the world. If you don't do anything that challenges the bottom line of Your Majesty and the Regent, the crime will never fall on you." Prime Minister Lu sighed lightly, He felt that it was quite difficult to be the head of the civil service. He also had to be responsible for appeasing the morale of his colleagues. The regent should give him more salary. "Everyone should go back and think about it carefully. Once you have figured it out, you will know what to do in the future."

The ministers clasped their fists and saluted Xie Chief Assistant and Prime Minister Lu: "Then I will take the first step. Sir Chief Assistant, Prime Minister, please walk slowly."

Prime Minister Lu nodded.

"The ministers are all very frightened today." In the Dazheng Palace, Nan Xi had just sat down and took a sip of the tea brought by Yinyue. "In the next few months, all the ministers will work diligently. Be honest, do more and talk less, and change the bad habits of the past.”

Rong Yu sat down next to her and was silent for a moment: "Let Chu Hongyi lead the troops to Shangning and escort the Yun family back."
